macbinary-rs

This crate aims to provide transparent access to macbinary files following the documentation at https://github.com/mietek/theunarchiver/wiki/MacBinarySpecs

Usage

The intended usage is as follows

Probing a file

use macbinary_rs::{MacBinary,Error};

match macbinary_rs::probe_path("./sample-file.sit") {
  Ok(MacBinary::None(file)) => {}
  Ok(MacBinary::I(file)) => {}
  Ok(MacBinary::II(file)) => {}
  Ok(MacBinary::III(file)) => {}
  Err(e) => eprintln!("Could not determine format of file: {:?}", e),
}

Opening a file

match macbinary_rs::open("./sample-file.sit") {
  Ok(file) => {
    println!("File: {} (encoding {})", file.file_name(), file.encoding());
    println!("Type: {}/{}", file.creator_code(), file.type_code());

   let mut reader = file.read(Fork::Data)?;
    ...
  },
  Err(e) => eprintln!("Could not open file {:?}", e)
}

If file is not a macbinary, it will return sensible defaults for all fields, provide a transparent reader for the data fork and an empty reader for the resource fork.
